The popular host of ‘Piolin en la Mañana’, Eddie ‘Piolin’ Sotelo has just broken his silence around his abrupt dismissal from the Univision Radio network line up amidst allegation he sexually harassed fellow co-worker Beto Cortez:

For the past week, I have remained silent as some former disgruntled Univision employees have made false accusations about me. I did not want to dignify their lies by responding. But enough is enough.

During the past 14 years, I helped my friend Beto Cortez through a number of difficult periods in his life and have been very generous to him. It saddens me that he has resorted to making baseless claims in an attempt to obtain an undeserved financial windfall.

For more than a decade, through all of Beto’s personal travails, I stood up for my friend again and again. In 2012, by Beto’s own admission, his work performance had become horribly erratic and I could no longer protect him. This is why Univision decided not to renew his contract when it expired at the end of last year.

For several months, we received reports that Beto was soliciting many of our co-workers to join him in asserting fictitious allegations and filing a complaint against me.

Contrary to Beto’s malicious statements, I have received an outpouring of unconditional support from my listeners and fans. I am very thankful for their thoughts, their prayers and their encouragement. I plan to be back on radio very soon and will continue to work hard to keep your loyalty and trust. Stay tuned!’‘

The Museum of Latin American Art’s latest exhibit is “Katharsis,” photographs and film clips from the Photography Collection of the Fundación Televisa. The collection documents Mexican wrestling or “lucha libre.” The images span a period of nearly seven decades. Three generations of writers, a documentary film collection and the archives of specialized magazines have created this visual history that allow a peek into an aspect of Mexican popular culture entrenched in the psyche of Mexicans since the 1930s. For many, “lucha libre” culture is reminiscent of gladiators and Aztec warriors in battle.

Upon its development as a genre of mass entertainment and through its various elements, “lucha libre mexicana” succeeded in establishing an aesthetic that was simultaneously bizarre and refined. “Katharsis” explores the elements that make it so unique and in doing so, divides them into themes such as “The Mask;” “Ladies of the Ring” and “Santo: The Silver Masked Man,” among others.
